This volume showcases the lore (and lure) of the American West with more than seventy short stories, excerpts, biographies, poems, folktales, and songs, including traditional tunes ("Sweet Betsy from Pike"), pop songs ("Desperado"), and those from Broadway musicals ("Oklahoma!"). Drawings, archival photographs, and reproductions of paintings by well-known artists (Wyeth, Homer, Remington, Russell) enhance each entry.
